ART GENERAL
León Ferrari (born in 1920) and Mira Schendel (1919-1988) are among the most significant Latin American artists of the twentieth century. Active simultaneously in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s in the neighboring countries of Argentina and Brazil, they found inspiration in the written word and in the eloquence of spoken language, and they both used language as important visual subject matter. Published to accompany the first comprehensive survey of the work of each artist in the United States, this essential catalogue presents new insights into the artists’ groundbreaking work and examines the connections and collisions between the visual arts, writing, politics and religion in their oeuvres.
Published in conjunction with the 2009 exhibition of the same name; Includes essays by Luis Perez-Oramas, Andrea Giunta, and Rodrigo Naves; Profusely illustrated.
Hardcover. Dark brown cloth over boards; Colour illus. dj.; 199 pp.; 58 bw and color figures; 146 colour plates. #260922
